(2025天津高二期中)
It is widely believed that biodiversity is
promoted to save species.But in reality species
exist only as part of ecosystems and cannot
survive unless their ecosystems are protected
along with the diversity they contain as much
as possible.
21
Protecting habitats is important for keeping
biodiversity.In 2003,over 102,000 habitats covering
nearly 19 million square kilometres,or 11.5%
of the world's land surface,were under some
form of protection.Though there has been a
great improvement since 1962,when just 1,000
protected habitats were listed,it is still not
considered enough to stop the ecocide that is
endangering the world's biodiversity.
For a number of environmentalists,protecting
the world's 25 biodiversity hot spots is critical
to saving habitats and species.But many hot
spots are endangered already,having lost up to
three-quarters of their original plants.
The poor state of most biodiversity hot
spots results directly from population growth
and migration into these areas.A study found
that by the mid-1990s around 1.1 billion people
had lived in these hot spots.Moreover,the
annual population growth rate in these areas
was 1.8%,higher than the global average of
1.4%.The PAI report concluded that human-
related environmental changes would continue
to put pressure on hot spots.Therefore,keeping
biodiversity requires paying close attention to
population size.
Protecting hot spots is not simply a matter
of putting up fences or employing guards.The
best results will be achieved when local people
are educated about the value of wildlife,and
actually gain a share of the benefits from eco-
tourism.Only then do they have a chance to see
the benefits of protecting hot spots.
1.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A.The loss of any species can affect humans.
B.Endangered species are paid more attention
to by humans.
12
C.Species can still survive when their ecosystems
are destroyed.
D.Ecosystem protection is as important as
diversity protection.
2.What does the underlined word“ecocide?”
mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Ecosystem protection.
B.Reduction in the number of species.
C.Serious damage to habitats.
D.Habitat protection.
3.What's the direct cause of the terrible state
of the hot spots?
A.Population growth in hot spots.
B.Migration out of these areas.
C.Global warming.
D.The global average population growth rate.
4.What's the author's opinion on protecting
the hot spots?
A.It's simple to carry out.
B.It leads to the increase in tourists.
C.It's closely linked to local people.
D.It requires the local people be educated well.

(2025湖北武汉高二期末)
While humans may think of agriculture as
a uniquely human achievement,ants have been
farming their own food for millions of years,a
new study has revealed.Researchers found that
ants began farming fungi(真菌)66 million
years ago,around the time an asteroid(小行
struck Earth and caused a global mass
extinction.
While the mass extinction was destructive
for many species,including dinosaurs,it presented
an opportunity for fungi.With plentiful rotten
plant matter on the ground,ants developed an
21
evolutionary partnership with fungi that still
endures today.Over time,this relationship grew
stronger,with ants improving their agricultural
practices and developing advanced methods 27
million years ago,a process similar to the
domestication of crops by humans."Ants have
been practicing agriculture and fungus farming
for much longer than humans have existed,"
Ted Schultz,lead author of the new paper,said
in a statement."We could probably learn something
from the agricultural success of these ants over
the past 66 million years."Fungi-farming ants
are particularly diverse in the Americas and the
Caribbean,with nearly 250 different species
engaged in this practice.
The research,published in the journal Science,
analyzed genetic data from hundreds of ant and
fungi species to create detailed evolutionary
trees.These genetic timelines played an important
role in revealing the evolution of ants'agricultural
techniques.The study builds on Schultz's 35
years of research into ant-fungus relationships,
during which he and his team collected thousands
of genetic samples from Central and South
America.By comparing wild fungal species with
ants'domesticated fungus,the researchers determined
that ants have been farming fungi since shortly
after the asteroid impact.
The ants have bacteria that can produce
antibiotics(抗生素)to fight off diseases attacking
their fungi."Somehow,over the course of 66
million years,they've been able to continue to
control crop disease and develop antibiotics
that continue to be effective,"Schultz told
Newsweek."We've only been using antibiotics
for less than 100 years and we have major
problems keeping up with resistance and developing
3
new antibiotics..”
5.What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?
A.Ants began to co-exist with fungi 27 million
years ago.
B.Around 250 species of ants worldwide
took part in fungi farming.
C.Ants used more advanced ways of practicing
agriculture than humans.
D.Dead plant matter provided conditions for
fungi to expand.
6.What does Paragraph 3 mainly focus on?
A.The methods in the research process.
B.The research findings on fungi farming.
C.The analysis of the genetic timeline.
D.The impact of the asteroid event.
7.Which statement would Schultz probably
agree with?
A.Human history is much longer than that
of ant agriculture.
B.The antibiotics produced by ants could be
used to treat humans.
C.Further study could be focused on how
to keep antibiotics effective.
D.It's meaningless for humans to follow
ants'success story in farming.
8.What's the best title for this text?
A.Ants Are Smarter than Humans
B.Agriculture Isn't Unique to Humans
C.Ants Provided Solutions for Human Farming
D.Ants Mastered Agriculture Long before
Humans
V.语法填空
(2025甘肃酒泉高二期末)
Extinctions,where entire species are wiped
out,are not unusual in our Earth's history.In
fact,over 90 percent of all species that ever
lived are now extinct.In the last 500 million
21
years,there have been five times 1.
life on Earth has almost ended.These include
the third mass extinction,2.
(know)as the“Great Dying”which killed
90%to 96%of all species.And the fifth event,
which 3.
(occur)66 million years
ago,caused the death of the dinosaurs.The
reasons for extinctions are 4.
(vary).According to scientists,they include
volcanic eruptions,asteroids 5.
(hit)the Earth from space,changes in sea
levels,the decrease of the oxygen content of
the sea and global warming.Many scientists
say we are now entering the Earth's sixth mass
extinction.This time,human activity will be to blame.
Although it is not unusual for species to
die out naturally,the rate 6.
which this is now happening is cause for concern.
A 2015 study by scientists who were based at
Brown University and Duke University in the
US,looked at how quickly species die out due
to natural causes,that is,the "background
extinction rate".They found that human activity
is causing species to die out 1,000 times faster
than normal.There is a long list of reasons
why so many species are dying out:air and water
pollution,forests being destroyed,factory
farming and overfishing.7.
is
clear that human activity has 8.
(negative)affected all other species on Earth,
including animals and plants.
If a sixth mass extinction occurs,scientists
who have studied the issue believe that up to
three quarters of all species on Earth could die
out.Of course,as we 9.
(human)
depend on so many species for our survival,we
would also be at risk of dying out.Our world
and our lives depend on the balance in nature
without clean water we would be unable to
between animals and plants.Without forests,
survive.
we would have no air to breathe,10.

主要介绍了保护世界生物多样性,不仅要注重
保护栖息地,而且要关注热,点地区的保护。
1.D推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But
in reality species exist only as part of ecosystems
and cannot survive unless their ecosystems are
protected along with the diversity they contain
as much as possible.”可知,生态系统保护与多
样性保护同样重要。故选D项。
2.C词句猜测题。根据第二段中的
"Though there has been a great improvement
since 1962,when just 1,000 protected habitats
were listed,it is still not considered enough to
stop the ecocide that is endangering the
world's biodiversity.”可知,自l962年以来已
经取得了很大的进步,当时仅有1,000个保护
栖息地被列出。根据上下文的转折关系可知,
ecocide意为“对栖息地的严重破坏”。故选
C项。
3.A细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The
poor state of most biodiversity hot spots
results directly from population growth and
migration into these areas.”可知,热,点地区的
糟糕状态的直接原因是人口增长。故选A项。
4C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的
"The best results will be achieved when local
people are educated about the value of wildlife,
and actually gain a share of the benefits from
eco-tourism.Only then do they have a chance
to see the benefits of protecting hot spots.”可
知,作者认为保护热,点与当地人密切相关,尤
其是他们对生态和旅游的认识和参与。故选
C项。

更早种植“粮食”。
5.D推理判断题。根据第二段中的
"While the mass extinction was destructive for
many species,including dinosaurs,it presented
an opportunity for fungi.With plentiful rotten
plant matter on the ground,ants developed an
evolutionary partnership with fungi that still
endures today.”可知,大灭绝让土地上出现了
很多腐烂的植物,这却给真菌大量繁殖提供了
条件。故选D项。
6.A主旨大意题。根据第三段内容可
知,第三段作者主要介绍了实验中用到的实验
方法,包括collecting,analyzing,comparing等。
故选A项。
7.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的
“‘Somehow,over the course of66 million
years,they've been able to continue to control
crop disease and develop antibiotics that
continue to be effective,'Schultz told Newsueek.
We've only been using antibiotics for less
than 100 years and we have major problems
keeping up with resistance and developing new
antibiotics.)”可知,Schultz认为,人类在保持
抗生素的持续有效性方面不如蚂蚁。因此,将
以后的研究集中在这一领域,Schultz可能会同
意这一观点。故选C项。
8.D主旨大意题。根据全文,尤其是第
一段内容可知,第一段就提出了蚂蚁很早就开
始种植“粮食”的观点,围绕这一观点,展开全
文。所以D项“蚂蚁早在人类之前就掌握了农
业”符合题意。故选D项。
